Definitions
- the invention relates to a hip joint socket to be anchored in the pelvis without cement, made of plastic, in particular of polyethylene, from whose contact surface with the bone, which is provided with a structure which promotes the growth and ingrowth of tissue, at least one cone-like projection protrudes.
- the object of the invention is to provide an acetabular cup in which direct contacts of bone and plastic are prevented as far as possible without the elasticity of the acetabular cup made of plastic, which is still preferred because of its good sliding properties, inadmissibly impaired.
- This object is achieved with the invention in that the contact surface of the pan is covered with an at least two-layer lattice-like metal structure, and in that the projection also consists of metal and is welded into the plastic of the pan body.
- a metal grid for example made of titanium or a titanium alloy, which is preferably designed as a wire mesh, only slightly impairs the elasticity of the implant, since the cross-sections of the webs or wires can be selected at any time so that they do not stiffen the implant inadmissibly.
- the mesh reinforcement at least drastically reduces or even practically prevents direct contact between plastic and bone.
- the one or more pin-like projections which advantageously also consist of titanium or a titanium alloy, can be most easily fixed in the socket body by friction welding. They are advantageously designed as hollow cylindrical sleeves.
- the protrusion in the foot region is expanded to a support plate from which a hollow anchoring cylinder protrudes into the plastic of the socket body; Loosening of the projection in the plastic can be prevented if the support plate and / or the anchoring cylinder are provided with trough-like and / or groove-like depressions and / or if the hollow anchoring cylinder is provided with openings in its jacket. Trough or groove-like depressions in the bearing surface of the plate and / or openings in the anchoring cylinder make e.g. a rotation of the projection and movements as a result of shear forces, while the ribs remaining between groove-like depressions, together with the openings in the anchoring cylinder, possibly increase the resistance to movements in the axial direction of the projection.
- the grid is fastened to the contact surface of the plastic, which is preferably one of the polyethylene modifications known and widely used in implant technology, in a simple manner by pressing the grid into the plastic softened by elevated temperature with the aid of increased pressure becomes.
- the grid In order to promote the ingrowth and growth of tissue, it is advantageous if the grid consists of more than two layers, the “pore size” of the grid openings increasing from layer to layer towards the outside.
- the socket body 2 is cut obliquely on one side in the area of the equator 3, so that it lacks an orange-slice-like piece 4 for the “full” hemisphere.
- the spherical surface of the socket body 2 which forms the contact surface of the socket with the pelvic bone, is covered by an at least two-layer metal grid 5, one layer of which is pressed into the plastic surface for anchoring.
- three hollow cylindrical metal sleeves 6 protrude from the contact surface with the bone as peg-like projections substantially radially to the spherical surface, which are arranged in the form of a triangle and point essentially in the direction of the main load on the pan.
- the cavity 7 (FIG. 3) of the sleeve 6 ends in a trumpet-like extension 8, as a result of which the hollow cylinder wall of the sleeve 6 ends in a sharp edge 9.
- This serves as a “cutting edge” when the sleeve 6 is driven into the pelvic bone, the trumpet-like enlargement 8 promoting the “pouring” of the displaced bone into the cavity 7 and causing this bone tissue to be compressed.
- the hollow cylinder wall of the sleeve 6 is provided with bores 10 into which tissue can grow.
- the sleeve 6 ends in a support plate 11, which increases its support on the contact surface of the socket body 2 against forces acting in the direction of its axis.
- Trough-like or nub-like depressions or grooves 12 in the bearing surface of the plate 11 increase their resistance to rotational forces or shear forces acting along the surface of the pan body.
- the support plate 11 continues into the interior of the socket body 2 in a hollow anchoring cylinder 13, which is also provided on the outside with depressions or grooves 14 and has openings 15.
- the sleeve 6 is mounted in the pan body 2, which is not connected to the grid 3, but instead has a play in the area of the support, by friction welding. In this case, the plastic of the socket body 2 experiences such a "softening” that it allows the anchoring cylinder 13 to penetrate and completely fill this and the bores 15.
- the anchoring cylinder 13 primarily has the task of fixing the sleeve 6 in the socket body 2 against tipping loads, its bores 15 and the depression 14 increasing the security against rotational and tensile loads.
- the sleeve 6 consists of one of the metals known to be particularly tissue-friendly, such as titanium, tantalum, niobium, zirconium or alloys with these metals as base materials. They thus form a tissue-friendly surface structure into which bone tissue grows over time, as a result of which the pan is anchored firmly and without bone cement in the bone.
- the mesh size of the grid is advantageously so narrow that no tissue grows through it; the grid therefore provides complete shielding and separation between the bone and plastic.

Description
- Die Erfindung betrifft eine zementfrei im Becken zu verankernde Hüftgelenkspfanne aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus Polyäthylen, aus deren Kontaktfläche zum Knochen, die mit einer das An- und Einwachsen von Gewebe fördernden Struktur versehen ist, mindestens ein zapfenartiger Vorsprung hervorsteht.
- Bei zementfreier Verankerung von Kunststoffimplantaten, beispielsweise von Hüftgelenkspfannen aus Polyäthylen, hat man festgestellt, dass der Kunststoff durch Körperflüssigkeiten über lange Zeiträume angegriffen und unter Umständen zersetzt wird. Man ist daher dazu übergegangen, eine Kunststoff-Hüftgelenkspfanne in einen Ring oder eine Schale aus Metall oder Keramik einzubetten, die sich ihrerseits durch An- und/oder Einwachsen von Gewebe mit dem Knochen fest verbindet (DE-C-2 411 617; US-A-3 840 904).
- Diese Lösung des geschilderten Problems hat den Nachteil, dass dadurch die Elastizität des Implantates gegenüber dem Knochen verloren geht.
- Weiterhin sind eine Vielzahl von Konstruktionen für Hüftgelenkspfannen bekannt, bei denen aus der dem Knochen zugewandten Pfannenoberfläche zapfenartige Vorsprünge vorstehen, die zur Verankerung der Pfanne in entsprechende Bohrungen im Becken eingepresst werden. Diese Vorsprünge sind ein in den Pfannenkörper integrierter Bestandteil der Pfanne, so dass sie bei aus Kunststoff gefertigten Pfannen ebenfalls aus Kunststoff bestehen (siehe z.B. CH-A-644 911; EP-A-0 058 753; DE-C-3 341 724).
- Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Hüftgelenkspfanne zu schaffen, bei der direkte Kontakte von Knochen und Kunststoff möglichst unterbunden sind, ohne dass die Elastizität der Hüftgelenkspfanne aus Kunststoff, die wegen ihrer guten Gleiteigenschaften nach wie vor bevorzugt wird, unzulässig beeinträchtigt wird. Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die Kontaktfläche der Pfanne mit einer mindestens zweilagigen gitterartigen Metallstruktur bedeckt ist, und dass ferner der Vosprung ebenfalls aus Metall besteht und in den Kunststoff des Pfannenkörpers eingeschweisst ist.
- Ein - beispielsweise aus Titan oder einer Titanlegierung bestehendes - Metallgitter, das vorzugsweise als ein Drahtgewebe ausgebildet ist, beeinträchtigt die Elastizität des Implantats nur wenig, da die Stege oder Drähte in ihren Querschnitten jederzeit so gewählt werden können, dass sie das Implantat nicht unzulässig versteifen. Durch die Gitterarmierung werden direkte Kontakte zwischen Kunststoff und Knochen zumindest drastisch vermindert oder sogar praktisch unterbunden. Der oder die zapfenartigen Vorsprünge, die mit Vorteil ebenfalls aus Titan oder einer Titanlegierung bestehen, können am einfachsten durch eine Reibschweissung im Pfannenkörper befestigt werden. Sie sind mit Vorteil als hohlzylindrische Hülsen ausgebildet.
- Ein verbessertes Eindringen der Hülsen in den Knochen und eine das Wachstum fördernde Verdichtung der dabei verdrängten Knochensubstanz können erreicht werden, wenn die Hülse an ihrem freien Ende eine trompetenartige Erweiterung ihres Hohlraumes aufweist und in einer scharfen Kante endet.
- Für eine Begrenzung der Eindringtiefe des oder der Vorsprünge in den Kunststoff des Pfannenkörpers ist es zweckmässig, wenn der Vorsprung im Fussbereich zu einer Auflageplatte erweitert ist, aus der ein hohler Verankerungszylinder in den Kunststoff des Pfannenkörpers hineinragt; Lockerungen des Vorsprungs in dem Kunststoff kann vorgebeugt werden, wenn die Auflageplatte und/oder der Verankerungszylinder mit mulden- und/oder rillenartigen Vertiefungen versehen sind und/oder wenn der hohle Verankerungszylinder in seinem Mantel mit Durchbrüchen versehen ist. Mulden- oder rillenartige Vertiefungen in der Auflagefläche der Platte und/oder Durchbrüchen in dem Verankerungszylinder erschweren z.B. ein Verdrehen des Vorsprungs sowie Bewegungen infolge von Scherkräften, während die zwischen rillenartigen Vertiefungen verbleibenden Rippen gegebenenfalls zusammen mit den Durchbrüchen im Verankerungszylinder den Widerstand gegen Bewegungen in Achsrichtung des Vorsprungs erhöhen.
- Die Befestigung des Gitters auf der Kontaktfläche des Kunststoffes, der vorzugsweise eine der in der Implantat-Technik bekannten und vielfach verwendeten Polyäthylen-Modifikationen ist, erfolgt in einfacher Weise dadurch, dass das Gitter in den durch erhöhte Temperatur erweichten Kunststoff mit Hilfe eines erhöhten Druckes eingepresst wird. Die Temperaturerhöhung ist dabei auf Temperaturen unterhalb der Kristallit-Schmelztemperatur (135 - 140°C) begrenzt; der erforderliche Druck ist abhängig von der Struktur des Gitters und von der gewählten Temperatur. Er kann beispielsweise bis zu 4 kp/mm2 (=39,24 N/mm2) betragen.
- Um das Ein- und Anwachsen von Gewebe zu fördern, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Gitter aus mehr als zwei Lagen besteht, wobei die «Porengrösse» der Gitteröffnungen von Lage zu Lage nach aussen zunehmen kann.
- Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert.
- Fig. 1 ist eine hälftig im Schnitt dargestellte Ansicht der neuen Hüftgelenkspfanne;
- Fig. 2 gibt gegenüber Fig. 1 vergrössert einen Ausschnitt aus der äusseren Oberfläche der Pfanne mit einem der zapfenartigen Vorsprünge wieder.
- Fig. 3 schliesslich ist gegenüber Fig. 2 nochmals vergrössert ein Längsschnitt durch einen in den Kunststoffkörper eingeschweissten zapfenartigen Vorsprung.
- Die den nicht dargestellten Gelenkkopf einer Femurkopfprothese aufnehmende Pfannenschale 1 (Fig. 1) der Hüftgelenkspfanne ist in bekannter Weise in einen im wesentlichen halbkugelförmigen Pfannenkörper 2 aus Kunststoff eingearbeitet; um den Beweglichkeitsbereich der Femurkopfprothese zu erweitern, ist der Pfannenkörper 2 im Bereich des Äquators 3 einseitig schräg abgeschnitten, so dass ihm zur «vollen» Halbkugel ein apfelsinenscheibenartiges Stück 4 fehlt. Erfindungsgemäss ist die Kugeloberfläche des Pfannenkörpers 2, die die Kontaktfläche der Pfanne zum Beckenknochen bildet, von einem mindestens zweilagigen Metallgitter 5 bedeckt, von dem eine Lage zur Verankerung in die Kunststoffoberfläche eingepresst ist.
- Im die Abschrägung enthaltenden Sektor ragen aus der Kontaktfläche zum Knochen als zapfenartige Vorsprünge im wesentlichen radial zur Kugeloberfläche drei hohlzylindrische Metallhülsen 6 heraus, die in Form eines Dreiecks angeordnet sind und im wesentlichen in Richtung der Hauptbelastung der Pfanne weisen.
- Der Hohlraum 7 (Fig.3) der Hülse 6 endet in einer trompetenartigen Erweiterung 8, wodurch die Hohlzylinderwand der Hülse 6 in einer scharfen Kante 9 ausläuft. Diese dient als «Schneidkante» beim Eintreiben der Hülse 6 in den Beckenknochen, wobei die trompetenartige Erweiterung 8 das «EinfIiessen» des dabei verdrängten Knochens in den Holhraum 7 fördert und ein Verdichten dieses Knochengewebes bewirkt. Die Holhzylinderwand der Hülse 6 ist mit Bohrungen 10 versehen, in die Gewebe einwachsen kann.
- Pfannenkörperseitig endet die Hülse 6 in einer Auflageplatte 11, die ihre Abstützung auf der Kontaktfläche des Pfannenkörpers 2 gegen in Richtung ihrer Achse wirkende Kräfte vergrössert. Mulden- oder noppenartige Vertiefungen oder Rillen 12 in der Auflagefläche der Platte 11 erhöhen ihre Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Rotations- bzw. entlang der Oberfläche des Pfannenkörpers wirkende Scherkräfte.
- In das Innere des Pfannenkörpers 2 hinein setzt sich die Auflageplatte 11 in einem hohlen Verankerungszylinder 13 fort, der ebenfalls aussen mit Vertiefungen oder Rillen 14 versehen ist und Durchbrüche 15 aufweist.
- Die Montage der Hülse 6 im Pfannenkörper 2, die mit dem Gitter 3 nicht verbunden ist, sondern dazu im Bereich der Auflage ein Spiel aufweist, erfolgt durch eine Reibschweissung. Bei dieser erfährt der Kunststoff des Pfannenkörpers 2 eine so starke «Aufweichung», dass er ein Eindringen des Verankerungszylinders 13 ermöglicht und diesen sowie die Bohrungen 15 vollständig ausfüllt.
- Der Verankerungszylinder 13 hat vor allem die Aufgabe, die Hülse 6 im Pfannenkörper 2 gegen Kippbelastungen zu fixieren, wobei seine Bohrungen 15 und die Vertiefung 14 die Sicherheit gegen Rotations- und Zugbelastungen erhöhen.
- Ebenso wie die Gitter 3 besteht die Hülse 6 aus einem der als besonders gewebefreundlich bekannten Metalle, wie Titan, Tantal, Niob, Zirkon oder Legierungen mit diesen Metallen als Basiswerkstoffen. Sie bilden somit eine gewebefreundliche Oberflächenstruktur, in die im Laufe der Zeit Knochengewebe einwächst, wodurch die Pfanne fest und knochenzementfrei im Knochen verankert wird. Die Maschenweite des Gitters ist dabei mit Vorteil so eng, dass durch sie kein Gewebe hindurch wächst; das Gitter bewirkt daher eine vollständige Abschirmung und Trennung zwischen Knochen und Kunststoff.
